Sigma fp features a 24.6 megapixel Full Frame BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 35.9 x 23.9 mm and a total area of 858 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 25,600 and expands to 6 - 102,400 in boosted mode. Samsung HZ35W features a 12 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 80 - 3,200.

Sigma fp has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Sigma fp can take pictures up to 6000 x 4000 resolution. Samsung HZ35W can take pictures up to 4000 x 3000 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 3984 x 2656, 3840 x 2160, 3264 x 2448, 2560 x 1920, 2048 x 1536, 1920 x 1080, 1024 x 768 with 4:3, 16:9 aspect ratios.
